And the tenants took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
All Commentaries on Matthew 21:35 Go To Matthew 21
John Chrysostom
AD 407
But they even here showed their wickedness, not only by failing to give the fruit, after having enjoyed so much care, which was the sign of idleness, but also by showing anger towards them that came. For they that had not to give when they owed, should not have been indignant, nor angry, but should have entreated. But they not only were indignant, but even filled their hands with blood, and while deserving punishment, themselves inflicted punishment.
